Let’s turn back time, Albo : Comments

By John Mikkelsen, published 15/4/2026

From Paris obligations to dwindling refineries, Albanese’s 'no turning back' sounds less like progress and more like managed decline.

Thanks Mikko,

Steve Nowakowski is a major figure in exposing the environmental harm from wind turbines.

If there was a supportive regulatory system there would be plenty of supply and no need for finger pointing.

The lunatics are running the asylum.

Hi Mikko2,

Are you proud of the fact the Coalition left Labor with $895 billion (your figure) in debt, with billions more coming down the pipeline for future generations to pay. The Coalition were spending like drunken sailors out of control. $22 million for the mega rich Harvey Norman, one example among the many from the Big End Of Town who profited from the Coalitions generosity. QANTAS $2.7 billion, never to be repaid!
Before they were booted from office the Coalition had forecast billions more in future deficits to burden the taxpayer with. They planned another big cash grab for their mega rich mates, billions for Gina Rinehart . Thankfully Labor was able to deliver budget surpluses and pay down Coalition debt by $200 billion.

BTW, Australia is still paying for Howard's incompetence with his natural gas deal to Japan, 20 years later!

Claim- "the Coalition left Labor with $895 billion (your figure) in debt"

According to brief AI check (remember this was during Covid where many were unemployed due to lockdowns by state governments)-

Short answer: The claim is misleading.

Facts:

When Labor took office in May 2022 gross Commonwealth debt was about A$888 billion and net debt about A$517 billion — not exactly $895 billion. ABC Australia
A sizable portion of that debt (about A$218 billion of gross debt, or ~25%) was inherited from the previous Labor governments; on a net-debt basis roughly A$161 billion (31%) came from Labor — so it’s incorrect to attribute nearly all of the debt solely to the Coalition. ABC Australia

Thank you Canem but facts won't convince a dedicated Labor troll. All other comments here recognise what a hopeless mob we have at the helm now thanks to a crazy preferential voting system which rewards a party with only about one third of the primary vote. No doubt that will be even lower by the time the next election is due, judging by recent polls, and by then we should also be seeing the results of their obsession with net zero on ever-higher power prices, frequent blackouts and continuing erratic, expensive fuel supplies unless we follow the logical mantra of dig baby dig and drill baby drill!!
